Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Many people who have fibromyalgia also have tension headaches, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety and depression. Medications are costly and come with a host of side effects often more problematic than the disease itself. Symptoms sometimes begin after a physical trauma, surgery, infection or significant psychological stress. In other cases, symptoms gradually accumulate over time with no single triggering event. Often times nutritional testing reveals deficiencies of certain vitamins and minerals and accumulation of toxic heavy metals.

At Hatch Chiropractic in Parker we use either a blood or hair analysis to test for these deficiencies so we know how to properly instruct the patient regarding their diet and supplementation. Because fibromyalgia is characterized by a tightening inflammation of the fascia throughout the body chiropractic and acupuncture have a profound effect of releasing that pressure that is built up in the tissues. Commonly immediate relief is experienced after these treatments. Although there is no “cure” for fibromyalgia patients who receive the proper care can lead a relatively pain free life.

Below is an article put out by Why Don’t You Try This. The information is ASTOUNDING and a MUST-READ for all parents and families!!!!

The verdict is out on flu shots. Many medical experts now agree its more important to protect yourself and your family from the flu vaccine than the flu itself. Every year the pharmaceutical industry, medical experts and mainstream media work hard to convince us to get vaccinated against the flu. But we’re not being told the whole story. What we don’t hear, are cases about the adverse reactions or the toxic chemicals being injected into us.

1. Lack of real evidence that young children even benefit from flu shots! 51 studies involving 260,000 children age 6 to 23 months showed no evidence that the flu vaccine is any more effective than a placebo. Flu shots only protect against certain strains of the virus meaning that you can still easily get the flu if you come into contact with a different strain!

2. Flu vaccines contain other dangerous ingredients such as mercury! The pharmaceutical industry, medical experts and mainstream media are candid in telling us that flu vaccines contain STRAINS of the flu virus. What they are less likely to reveal though is the long list of OTHER ingredients that come with the vaccine. Its now a known fact that flu vaccines contain the toxic metal mercury, hazardous for human health. Mercury toxicity can cause depression, memory loss, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory problems, ADD, oral health problems, digestive imbalances and other serious health issues.

3. The flu shot can cause Alzheimer’s disease! Evidence now suggests that flu vaccines can cause Alzheimer’s disease. Research conducted by Dr. Hugh Fudenberg, a leading immunogeneticist, shows that those who consistently get the flu vaccine increase their risk of Alzheimer’s disease by 10 fold. This is due to the toxic combination of aluminum and mercury in the vaccine.

4. The very people pushing flu vaccinations are making billions of dollars each year! In August 1999, the Committee on Government Reform initiated an investigation into Federal vaccine policy. This investigation focused on possible conflicts of interest on the part of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The investigation concluded that many individuals serving on two key advisory committees had financial ties to the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture vaccines. Often, these individuals were granted waivers to fully participate in the discussions that led to recommendations on vaccine licensing and adding vaccines to the Childhood Immunization Schedule. This in itself creates serious doubt as to how effective flu vaccines really are.

5. The flu vaccines actually do not immunize but sensitize the body against the virus! Have you ever noticed how vaccinated children get sick almost immediately following a vaccination? This is because the flu virus is introduced into their bodies. So rather than immunize, the flu shot actually only sensitizes the body against the virus. And the fact that it causes individuals to get ill following a shot indicates immuno-suppression (i.e. lowering of the immunity).

6. Makes you more susceptible to pneumonia and other contagious diseases! For someone with an already suppressed immune system, injecting strains of the flu virus can have devastating consequences. If your body is already working to fight off a virus or simply operating with low immunity, a vaccine injection could put your body in serious danger of contracting influenza with stronger symptoms, or even worse pneumonia and other contagious diseases.

8. Children under the age of 1 are at risk! Children under 1 years of age are highly vulnerable to a neurotoxic breach of the delicate nerve center surrounding the brain and central nervous system. The first round of the flu vaccine is administered at age 6 months. A child under the age of 1 lacks sufficient protection to guard against premature damage to the blood barrier in the brain.

9. Increased risk of narcolepsy! There have been dozens of reported cases of children in 12 different countries who have developed narcolepsy (a chronic sleep disorder) after receiving the flu vaccine. The study, which took place between October 2009 and the December 2011, compared 3.3 million vaccinated Swedes with 2.5 million who were not vaccinated. The risk was found to be highest among the youngest people who took the vaccines. For those under the age of 21, the risk of contracting narcolepsy was three times higher.

10. Weakens immunological responses! There have been literally thousands of medical journal articles published that show injecting vaccines can lead to harmful immunological responses and a host of other infections. Moreover, weak immunological responses only decrease a person’s ability to fight the diseases that the vaccine was supposed to protect against in the first place.

11. Serious neurological disorders! Evidence now suggests that ingredients in flu vaccinations can actually cause serious neurological disorders. In 1976 a significant number of those who received the flu vaccine acquired Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a disorder characterized by permanent nerve damage and even paralysis. Flu vaccines can contain many harmful materials including detergent, mercury, formaldehyde, and strains of live flu virus.

It’s no secret that I am a big believer in the health benefits from supplementing with fish oil and encourage my patients to do so. It was therefore a big surprise when the media reported that fish oil supplementation had been linked to prostate cancer in men. Several patients asked me my opinion on the report and so I did some digging. The best article I have found I have pasted below from Dynamic Chiropractic issue 735 September 1 2013.

By David Seaman, DC, MS, DABCN Recently there has been a surge in media coverage regarding a study that allegedly examined the effects of fish oil supplementation on prostate cancer expression.1 Quite to the contrary, the subjects in this studywerenot supplemented with fish oil or put on a fish-rich diet, which means it is completely inappropriate to suggest that such would cause prostate cancer. The authors explain that they did a blood test on 834 subjects who developed prostate cancer in the SELECT Trial and measured fatty acids in plasma phospholipids.1 The SELECT Trial examined how supplemental selenium and vitamin E would impact the expression of prostate cancer.2Table 1 outlines the outcome of that study. At most, there is a 1 percent greater risk of developing prostate cancer if one supplements with vitamin E. However, news reports that came out after SELECT was published implied that vitamin E and selenium supplements are a cause of prostate cancer. The appropriate conclusion is that these supplements are ineffective as a monotherapy for prostate cancer prevention.

A look at the details of the new prostate cancer-fatty acid study reveals that a more appropriate conclusion is needed as well. As stated above, the subjects were 834 individuals who developed prostate cancer in the SELECT Trial. After a blood draw, the fatty acids were measured as a percentage of total fatty acids in plasma phospholipids, and included omega-3, omega-6 and trans-fatty acids. Table 2 outlines the average omega-3 fatty acid levels, which included eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). While the .04 percent higher level of EPA and the .1 percent higher level of DHA in cancer subjects may be statistically significant, the clinical relevance of such small differences remains unknown and was notdiscussed in the paper. Despite this unknown, news reports irresponsibly suggested that consuming fish and fish oil supplements may be a cause of prostate cancer and that men should be careful not to eat too much fish.

Fatty Acid

EPA

The more appropriate conclusion would be that since controls and prostate cancer patients have nearly identical plasma phospholipid levels of omega-3 fatty acids, it is not likely that an association between fatty acids and prostate cancer can be identified in this study. Other dietary and lifestyle factors are likely to be involved. Consider that prostate cancer is rare in Inuit Eskimos consuming a traditional diet that includes extremely large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids.3 Unfortunately, the media scare about eating fish and taking fish oil has been pervasive. Why would the media be so irresponsible? Either it is due to ignorance and/or perhaps a new prostate-cancer treating / preventing medication may be in the works. This notion may not be so far-fetched; consider that statins are now often recommended as a preventive strategy for people with total cholesterol below200 mg/dl. References

How Long is my Physical Good For?

A DOT physical exam is valid for up to 24 months. The medical examiner (your chiropractor, in this case) may also issue a DOT Physical Certificate for less than 24 months when it is desirable to monitor a condition, such as high blood pressure.

For Your Records:

If the doctor finds that the person he/she examined is physically qualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV), the doctor will furnish one copy of the results to the person who was examined and complete a Medical Examiner’s Certificate (page 9 of the Medical Examination Report). If a driver wishes the Certificate to be in card form, he/she may: Purchase a separate “medical card” from an industry supplier of motor carrier forms (e.g., State trucking association) before the physical exam and ask the medical examiner to complete and sign it, in addition to the Medical Examination Report form; or print the Certificate on cardstock paper. It is permissible to reduce the size of the Certificate.

Have you ever wondered why it is some diets work great for some but not for others?

Also, Have you wondered why certain foods make certain people sick and sluggish?

Well, wonder no longer because you will leave this workshop knowing specifically what foods you should consume and which you should avoid based on your blood type. Dr. Hatch will also demonstrate how to make the perfect smoothie in his vitamix based on your blood type which will be sampled. Dr. Hatch personally has made modifications to his diet based on his blood type and without trying lost 20 lbs. in 4 weeks! Other patients have lost even more with no gimmicks! Not everyone should follow the same diet, and blood type and your race determines tolerance to what you should and should not eat. Based on this, there are 16 groups of food that are highly beneficial, neutral or should be avoided. Come and learn what those are and the science behind it.
